Looking to lease a new SUV. Interested mostly in an XC90, MDX or Q7. Any advice on what leases best and what I should expect for a payment? Ideally we’d come in under $600/mo. I’m focused on getting a good to great deal. I can wait a bit if needed. 36mo/12k in 43065. Seems like I missed the boat on the Volvo deals through Costco. I have access to employee pricing on Acuras but the low residual makes the leases less attractive. Any advice? ---

MDXs are leasing incredibly cheap right now. Will probably be $200+ a month cheaper than an XC90 or Q7. Residuals may be low, but Acura is giving a bunch of incentive money to the dealers (like $9kish) to give significant dealer discounts. > [@JULY DEAL! ~NO BROKER FEE~ Acura MDX BASE $360/36 month 10k/ year $2784 DAS with 1k conquest /loyalty](https://forum.leasehackr.com/t/july-deal-no-broker-fee-acura-mdx-base-360-36-month-10k-year-2784-das-with-1k-conquest-loyalty/151602): > > Here is the MDX Deals for July.

@mllcb42 thanks…when i was putting #s into the calculator i must have been improperly applying incentives. From the Edmunds forums, I gleaned: .00215 MF MDX SH-AWD Tech - 54% residual and $8500 incentives Through EMP pricing I can get the car for: MSRP: 52295 Sale: 47344.47 How do I account for the incentives? > **[Leasehackr Calculator — LEASEHACKR](https://leasehackr.com/calculator?make=Acura&miles=12000&msd=0&msrp=52295&sales_price=47344.47&months=36&mf=.00215&dp=0&dealer_fee=85&acq_fee=595&taxed_inc=1000&untaxed_inc=0&rebate=0&resP=54®_fee=400&sales_tax=7.75&demo_mileage=0&memo&monthlyTax_radio=true)** > > Leasehackr Calculator lets you estimate and share your lease numbers.

The incentives on the acura are weird as they’re to the dealer, not the consumers, so how they combine with employee pricing I do not know. ---

Honestly I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to stack employee with the dealer incentives. That would be an incredible deal if you can do it. FYI they are AFS to dealer incentives so they’re not taxable. ---

Is there a target monthly I should target for $0 down? I added 1000 taxable incentives to account for loyalty. ---

Nah, I’d be straight forward with them about your expectations. I’m sure someone will try to play the “$8500? what $8500?” game. ---
